Traditional Meaning and Celebration
* Children's Day: These cloth or paper windsocks are traditionally flown in Japan from late April through early May to celebrate Children's Day (formally Boy’s Day) on May 5th.
* Symbol of Strength: The carp is celebrated in Japanese folklore for its ability to swim upstream against strong currents. Flying them represents a family's hope that their children will grow up healthy, strong, and resilient enough to overcome any life obstacles.
